Well, I've slept longer than I would have liked, but this coffee is starting to kick in, thank God. After 4 days of being snowed in and lounging in my fabulous new bathrobe, I'm a little slow to swing back to the real world, but swing I must! Btw, never had a bathrobe before, if it were socially acceptable to were it exclusively, I would.
Today I will:
Try like hell to keep MOUTH SHUT before any negative opinions or unsolicited advice starts pouring out of it, Think Before I Speak.
Not let my gay work husband get under my skin with his own unchecked ego.
Smile as often as I can muster.
Remain still, quiet and re-discover the joy I had with my job when I started it.
Be grateful for a reliable 4 wheel drive dream car, my dog, who I lied to last night and told I would walk this morning, have patience with my lunatic kitten, speak kindly to my love and call my momma.
Today I will organize my "book of To-Do Lists", check a few off, but not obsess over the future.
Today I will try like heaven to stay in the Present as though it were a gift.
Today I will eat healthy food and today I will not drink booze...
and so it is!
Jessica, that list is really GoooooD!
ReplyDeleteGuess for me the most important one on there is the one listed last: "today I will not drink booze..."
Running a finely-close second is "Think Before I Speak." OH! How I wish to master that. Maybe with one "non-speak" at a time...
Steve sent me here and I am so happy he did. =)
